Fern Culture.

Ferns are easily cultivated, SAYS
Vtck'S Magazine, if few practical
details are observed. Growing in
their native habitants they are, for
the most part, found in shady posi-
tions, where, during their growing
period, they have an abundance of
moisture at their roots; therefore,
under cultivation, a shady window
is for most kinds more suitable than
a sunny one, and during their season
of growth a good supply of water
at the roots is demanded. While it
is necessary for their success to have
an abundance of water, they are at
the same time very impatient of a
stagnant soil, and to prevent any,
thing of the kind occurring. perfect
drainage is indispensable. Not only
is drainage a necessity in the cultiva-
ton of ferns, but it is also needed
in the culture of all kinds of window
and greenhouse plants after they
have attained a certain size. No
plants do / know, except aquatics,
that succeed in soil from which
the water does not pass off freely.
Plants growing in pots six inches in
diameter and over, should have good
drainage. This may be done by
placing over the hole in the bottom
of the pot a piece of broken pot.
over this place more of the same
material in small pieces; instead of
this pieces of charcoal answer well.
Fill about one-fourth of the pot in
this manner, and over the top place
some moss or other rough material
TO prevent the soil from mixing with
the drainage, and thereby prevent
ing the water from passing freely

WARNING Cause.-The Boston & Albany
uses the Martin system. 1t appears that
the Maine Central has begun to use a sim
liar system invented by Mr.. Sewall who
has been perfecting it since 1880. The
system used on our elevated roads resem-
bles these, except in respect to the stor-
age of heat, and it is said that the pipes
can be charged so that after being detach-
ed they will retain heat for several hours
The Providence, Warren and Bristol COM
pany has recently equipped train on its
road with this system, and the Long ISL
and Railroad company has placed it in
twenty-five cars, with the intention, it is
said, of using it on all of its trains. Mr.
Griggs, of the Providence and Worcester
company, said at the Boston meeting that
he could see no objection to the use of
steam heat from the locomotive on his
road.
In the light afforded by this testimony
it is worse than folly for the officers of
great and wealthy railroad corporations
to persist in discrediting the heating of
cars by steam. The companies that are
trying to equip their cars with steam
heating apparatus deserve great praise
and the warm support of the public
Those that obstinately refuse even to ex-
pertinent with a system of steam-heating.
and whose officers sneeringly appeal to
the newspapers for instructions, show
something worse than conservative ten

THE PRESERVATION OF EGGs.-Austra-
liam eggs are preserved in the following
simple manner: The vessels in which
the eggs are to be placed are glass lars
with patent shoppers, vulcanized India
rubber joints making them perfectly air
tight. As soon as the eggs have been
collected, the jars are stood in hot water
for some time, and left until the air in
them has become thoroughly warm and
rarified The jars having been heated.
the eggs are wrapped up in paper to pre-
vent them knocking together and placed
in the warm receptacle, their pointed
ends being uppermost: The jars are i'm
mediately closed up, and then, and not
until then, are removed from the hot wa
ter 1t is said that if this process is skill
fully carried out the eggs will be as fit
for the breakfast table as the day they
were laid many months after they were
put in the jars. The great secret of sue
cess in carrying out this method is no
doubt TO thoroughly heat the air in the
jars. The eggs win stand a better chance
OF keeping if the paper in which they are
packed is previously baked and used
warm Patent stoppered jars are not
absolutely necessary, any stopper answer
ing which effectually excludes the air.
